Experience Comfort and Support with the Classic Brands Cool Gel Ventilated 12-Inch Memory Foam Mattress

Jazmin: I love the mattress it’s very comfortable, the pillows are a big plus. Highly recommend, I don’t normally write reviews but I can’t rave about this product enough. It helps a lot with my back pain and as soon as my head hits the pillow I can sleep comfortably and immediately. Worth the money no doubt.

Rose: I’ve had this bed now for a few weeks.
It didn’t have much of a smell— at least to me— my son helped me with unboxing & he noticed a bit of a smell.
It expanded quite quickly & evenly.
It’s a bit firmer than I was expecting but I still slept well but on the second night, I placed a mattress topper on it & now it’s great.
I would say it’s not cooling, thinking back to the first night that I slept on it without a topper but it definitely didn’t become hot at all.
I tend to wake up hot but that didn’t happen.
It’s a comfortable mattress all around.

Connor: I have bought this mattress everywhere I have moved in the US, but I imported here to Japan once I moved here as well, because it literally WILL BE THE BEST SLEEP OF YOUR LIFE.

Highly Recommend!!

Tavanh N.: Very satisfied. It came in a tiny long box (so easy for transport). Comfortable but it is not as comfortable as one of those very comfy $2,000 + mattresses I've had. For the price, it is the most comfortable we could have found. Me and my girlfriend survived on an inflatable mattress just before getting this and wow did we feel great. I was also able to get out of the bed and infiltrate back in without waking her up. The smell was there for about two to four months but after that, our home smell took over. Comfortable for all kamasutra fans but I have a hard time sleeping on the side for more than 10 to 30 minutes on this mattress. Not a big deal anyway since I always drool if I sleep on the side. So I give it a 5 on every way for this one!

Lee and Eddy: 03/18/18 update I just want to update now that we are going on almost a year of owning this bed. The mattress is even more comfortable now! I highly recommend this bed! Almost a year with no creeks or cracks when waking and my body is super aligned! I spent one week away, slept on a pillowtop and every bone was stiff!

I cannot say enough good about this bed!

Original review I LOVE MY BED! we had some issues ordering a different bed from amazon and ended up ordering this instead. I hadn't done any research on this brand or bed prior to it arriving, partially because I was really busy and because I had my heart set on the other one... I'm sooooo glad that we ended up getting this bed!!! when it arrived UPS had torn through the plastic so it was expanding in the box, I think that had a bit to do with the fact that the bed expanded to full size in 30 minutes. It was really heavy so i recommend having more then one person carry it (we got the Cal-King). Some of the reviews I was reading after we got the bed stated that:
#1 it didn't expand to full size - This wasn't the case for us at all!!
#2 there is a bad smell - I stuck my face right into the...

RoadRick - TXRoadRick - TX: After weeks of research including mattress store visits, finally took the chance and ordered the CB 12" Cool Gel Memory foam King Size. Having been a 'box spring & coil mattress guy my 60+ years' I was easy prey for the store sales guys, yet I resisted the easy path of plunking down $3 ~ $4 grand and after reading volumes of comparative details and thousands of reviews, would up here. For about 1/10th the cost it was well worth the risk. I even called Classic Brands cust svc and chatted about what to expect between this & the hybrid model that's near the same price. My head just can't wrap itself around a brutally squished up bunch of springs and foam popping up to a sturdy full size without any long term effect on those springs turning mushy over time, but I can better imagine how squished up foam by itself can possibly be reformed to a strong enough support.My UPS guy had never delivered one of these before and he's real interested in what we think after installed. The two of us pretty good sized guys wrestled the very heavy, pretty beat up, nasty, dirty box into the house together without any serious injury. After that, and much room prep + new...

Ronald J Cox: I love this mattress. I bought it for my mom for when she stays with me. When I received it, I opened it on the floor and let it expand for 3 days, then I put it on top of the box spring. Like everything else memory foam, the dimensions are a *little* off and there's a bit of overhang on from the box spring, and a noticeable gap when fitted sheets are placed on it.

I didn't think I'd like it at first, since when I first got it and went to lay on it, it felt like laying on the hardwood floor. But after just a second you start sinking in and all of a sudden you're in the comfiest bed you've laid in and you accidentally take an hour nap in it.

It's about the price of a regular mattress, it performs better, and should last longer without having springs or wear and tear. Memory foam isn't for everyone so I would suggest trying one out first at a department store or something before actually buying one. I didn't have the luxury as I live in Fort McMurray, and mattress were on massive back order from the wildfire and my mom was coming up to "surprise" me so I didn't have time to look around. This mattress was a gamble that paid off.

TechieM - Mr. ATechieM - Mr. A: I found it difficult to come up with the words for this mattress. In quick summation, it’s firm, but quite comfy.

This mattress has been traded out from one that is 20+ years old so I was quite sure it would be an upgrade, however I wasn’t sure how I’d like it. It has been firm, but a lot more comfortable overall and has no affected my sleeping whatsoever.

The mattress comes compressed and vacuum sealed, and it’s quite comical how small it is for delivery. Be very careful where you unpackage this, once it is open it opens up to full size quite quickly. There is a plastic-ish smell that lasts a couple of days but I let it air out in another room with no trouble. Once the smell is gone it was time to toss out the old and place this on there. First night was great, as has every night has been since.

It’s hard for me to attest to the claim that it keeps your body cool as I’ve only had this mattress the last month or so and it has been quite cool. I will do my best to try to update this review once the summer comes! As noted above, the mattress it quite firm but your body will sink in slowly. If you’re looking for soft and squishy...

Jesse: To clear up a lot of confusion with this mattress, here is an Honest to God review....

Summary:

- Mattress was easy to assemble (cut package and roll/air out)
- Smell was not that bad... It's expected, so have a fan ready and air it out.
- Firm version of memory foam (Perfect for bigger guys like me) But I have a hunch it breaks in over time.
- Quality seemed very nice.

I just received this mattress yesterday ( 8/5/2015 ). The packaging was as expected, the Cardboard box was in rough shape but the heavy duty plastic on the inside was untouched. I'm a 6'2" 230lb athletic man that spends most of my free time in the gym, so getting the package onto my bed frame by myself was no problem at all. To a regular or smaller person, you might need an extra hand carrying the 90+lb package.

Upon opening, I cut the plastic and everything went as expected. The mattress inflated itself within 30 minutes with the corners lagging behind (I just hit the corners with my hand to fluff them up and help them catch up) . I let it sit for 24 hours before laying on it. The smell is strong, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. Looking at the...
